I expect it would go something like this, particularly when Billy Blaze scratches out the first syllable.

For starters if there are two variables you need two equations.

Even assuming you set that expression equal to zero you still can’t solve it.

X(y-3) + 4(3-y)
X*(y-3) + 4*(3-y) = 0
X*(y-3) = -4*(-1 *(3-y))
X*(y-3) = -4*(y-3)
X*(y-3) / (y-3) = -4*(y-3) / (y-3)
X = -4
y = 3

Damn i remember this shite.

Like rewriting the equation. I forget the official term for it

Actually if the equation is set to zero, it means either X or Y has to set the equation equal to zero in its respective factor, for example, in this equation which can be factored to (x-4)(y-3), if set equal to zero, either Y has to be equal to 3 or X has to be equal to 4 to set that factor to zero, which thereby multiplies the equation to zero giving the answer of zero. So in theory you can't solve the equation fully but you could give parameters to the solution.

Wouldn't the right side of the equation be:
=-1(4(3-y))
=-1(12-4y)
=-12+4y
=-4(3+y)

In either case, there is more than one admissible solution with at least 2. There may be more, but here's 2 of them:
#1: x=-4; y=3
#2: x=4; y=0

I know my equation is wrong. Just solved it incorrectly to get a number.

Because you are dividing by a variable it is omitting infinitely many solutions. if set equal to zero anything along the graph of x=4; y=3 is correct.

Good call, I didn't even catch the infinite amount of solutions. I guess more the more correct (or accurate?) thing to say would be anything along the graph of y=3 is correct, among others such as x=4; y=0.

xy-3x + 12-4y. It’s called factoring by grouping
x(y-3) + -4(-3+y)
(x-4)(y-3)
x=4 , y=3

Also you could have just typed this in to mathway.com and done factor and it would have solved it

The only thing I have ever used math for is to count dollar bills. Other than that math is absolutely worthless.
